Tags & Warnings: Anthropomorphic Animal Adaptation! Slight spoilers to various Meitantei Hōmuzu episodes (and sort of freeform treating of the timeline). Off-screen canonical death. Prejudices and racism. Very feebly implied slash and bestiality of sorts (seriously, it’s Anthropomorphic Animal Adaptation after all). Friendship and domesticity. Angst-ish hurt/comfort. Character study.

Disclaimer: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson and everyone from this charming gaslight universe created by Arthur Conan Doyle are in the public domain. The Meitantei Hōmuzu adaptation belongs to Tokyo Movie Shinsha and RAI.
Notes: My hearty thanks to thesmallhobbit for SPAG check and proofreading, and especially for the fact that she was not afraid to embark into steam-filled streets of unfamiliar adaptation.

My dear recipient, I can only hope that this little creation of mine, which somehow took on a life of its own, will be to your liking. Happy Holmestice to you!
